Jeez, Lynnette, I forgot you went thru this.
They way I understand this all, retail vs usage, vs home usage, you
follow your state laws. Not the sales tax of the state you are
purchasing from.
So if you buy clothing from another state on-line. And your state
does not have sales tax on clothing, then you don't have to pay it.
If your state says that clothing is taxed then you have to pay it.
This is self-reporting. Which means when you do your taxes at the
end of the year, you have kept track of your out of state
purchases(on-line) and keep track of what is taxable and what is not
taxable and send your state the money. Which also means, that most
would have NO idea what is taxable or not!!!!!!!! When we go to the
local stores, the cash register keeps track of this, ever notice your
grocery receipt???????? some items are hit with sales tax some or
not. Now you would have to get a list from YOUR local taxing unit
and find the list and keep track of this.
Basically what is happening your state is saying hey wait a
minute. Before the Internet, you would go shopping at your local
malls, retail outlets and buy things, and paid sales tax.
Now, with the Internet and on-line shopping, you are not purchasing
items in our state, but other states, and we are losing money. We
(the state) are losing money and we want it!
Now what would be easier, and a pain in the butt for all on-line
companies, is to get a tax id number for EACH State, then as the
public purchase items, the on-line company would charge you the sales
tax(YOUR STATE), and then the on-line company would send it to YOUR
state. The paperwork would be enormous for these companies, maybe
why they don't do it.
So now my next question would be is how would YOUR state know that
you didn't pay, how did they find out Lynnette owed?
How did they find out about the on-line cigarettes being purchased?
Seems to me that the on-line cigarette companies were either audited
by the IRS which means they(the cigarette online company) had to give
a list of names of people who purchased their product. Or they
automatically (by some law) gave a list of names to the IRS and this
triggered the inquiry. Of course then the IRS would notify your state
taxing unit.
I have no idea. Overwhelming paperwork issues for the on-line
retailer. And for us also. The States are struggling. They are
broke, and going to do anything to collect money so they can balance
their budgets. And then we have the 1099 forms. And all this
paperwork lands on the consumer and most of all business.
We are all going to have to hire r own private bookkeepers to keep
track of this crap!!!!!!!!!! LOLOL but hell then the unemployment
rate will drop!!!!!!! Heck we could start something here...........on
front of all Newspapers.............NAIL TECHS SAVE THE USA AND STATE
ECONOMY BY PAPERWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL
My best advice is when you go to your accountant this year, ask him
questions. I am no accountant, I am just a news junkie who reads
what is going on in the world.
I wish we could get rid of ALL taxes and just go with a National
Sales tax............then everyone would pay, even those that choose
not to work, pay for what you purchase. Ahhhh, whole other subject
and not going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! diana from indiana

ANYTHING that is purchased online and not taxed is to be kept track
of by the buyer. Not just for business, but personal items, too.
You then have to somewhat itemize what you bought and pay YOUR states tax.
It would be so much easier for everyone if where we purchased our
goods would just tax us. More paperwork for them.
I got hit with it. I know of someone who purchased cigarettes online
and wound up paying boucoup bucks in taxes.
Big brother IS watching.
Buenos dias!

now...I thought "use" tax was for the products we used in our day
to day biz life.... companies like TIS used to not charge any tax
and I think the IRS caught up with them (a few years ago) and now
everyone has to pay tax on everything that is not retailed.... I
don't retail anymore so I do not have a tax id number.. so I pay
tax for it all... so I am not really certain...
